To those who think our side was wrong at CSK's funeral:

[smartvoter]

Could you answer this:

How do you hold a memorial for a civil rights activist and keep politics out of it?

This is not intended to be sarcastic. I just don't get it.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. You can't, of course. The RW shills just want us to think there is...

sadly, it seems some of us have fallen for it. :(

[BOSSHOG]

2. Your question requires

knowledge and introspection. Their reaction was based only on the funeral being an opportunity for them to hate loudly.

[BlueEyedSon]

3. I dunno.... I forgot my sheet.

To paraphrase Bush I

[TahitiNut]

4. I'd guess you'd begin by not inviting around 100 politicians.

A Pretzledunce, three former Presidents, a dozen Senators, a couple dozen Congresscritters, state legislators, mayors, and a hodge-bpodge of other politicians were invited by the family and asked by the family to speak. Just who the fuck has any standing to claim the family cannot recognize her life as they wish?? (It's appalling that people attack the family of the deceased in this slimy, backstabbing fashion.)

5. Are there people on our side who think it was wrong?

I haven't seen any. :shrug:

[smartvoter]

6. Yes. Not many, but there are some threads with those opinions

in them.

[Johonny]

7. Just listen to

the Audience reaction. They got it. They understood what the event was about. RW shills will never get it and what they're selling I don't want.

[MemphisTiger]

8. It's funny how the republicans maket themselves as

thick skinned tough guys, yet they seem to get their feeling hurt so easily.

[Individualist]

9. Those who think our side was wrong

are repugs who don't bother to try and hide the fact or repugs pretending to be dems.

10. And why should white people tell a black family how to do their funeral?

:eyes: If they were so wrong why haven't they brought out a family member to say so? Has any family member been on any of the talking head shows yet?
